fossil record of the order Amphipoda is meagre, comprising specimens of 12 species dating back only as far as
the Upper Eocene, where they have been found in Baltic
amber.[17][18]
4 Ecology
3
The landhoppers of the family Talitridae (which also includes semi-terrestrial and marine animals) are terrestrial,
living in damp environments such as leaf litter.[23] Landhoppers have a wide distribution in areas that were formerly part of Gondwanaland, but have colonised parts of
Europe and North America in recent times.
